First there was Trans Gaule (race across France), then i put this sequel together for the Western States 100 Miler in the US, then it was off to run across Germany and then the oblivion of injuries from then onwards meant this blog just wouldn't die.
Now with a start in Badwater.com followed by another Trans Gaule this blog lives a little longer.

Saturday, 14 June 2008

Having had a rather hectic week (a few beers at the local surf club on Tuesday arvo - had to use the free lunch voucher ! - being the closest i got to finally celebrating the birthday), have only had one decently long run this week, 3 Hours and unknown distance as pretty much unmappable, various back streets of Currumbin Waters and the stretches of park joining them as well as using the new trail underneath the Tugun Bypass (ultimately leading nowhere legally).As i'm heading up to Brissie this arvo (may just catch the Stones doco one more time before it closes and heads off to DVD while i'm up there), for some drinks tonight, thought i'd better find myself a race on Sunday. So a 33K trail race caught the eye at Lake Manchester, with a field limit if 30 doubt it will be a really big race but nevertheless something to get the adrenaline pumping and being trail should mean a good quick recovery before my last pre Badwater Aussie race Mt Mee.

About Me

What started as a short term blog of my race across France in 2006, became a sequel in 2007 when i did an Ultra over in the US and then a race across Germany. Really wanted to finish this blog off then but injuries meant i should keep it going to give an idea of my comeback (as a man usually prefaced in running circles as "indestructible" no one believed i actually could have injuries and other issues to stop me). However now in 2008 with a race across Death Valley www.badwater.com and another, faster shot at the race across France, it looks like this blog won't die for a while, so enjoy the ride !.
